Canadian Artist
Terry Warbey
Terence Warbey was born in England where he apprenticed in all phases of metalwork skills. He began his career in jewellery design and jewellery making while still at school. It was not until he immigrated to Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1966 that he was able to realize his dream of having his own jewellery studio and shop in the 10th Avenue University District. After two successful and busy year of designing, manufacturing and selling his own work from the shop, Terry decided to spend more time in design and production. Within a few years, Terry's work was found in fine galleries and shops across Canada. His work has been honored in shows at the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Victoria Art Gallery, as well as many juried displays on Salt Spring and Vancouver Islands. For the last 21 years, Terry and his wife have lived on Salt Spring Island, B.C. in a house he designed and hand built. His Celtic-British roots, the skills developed through years of intense work and study, and his growing appreciation for the beauty of the Canadian wilderness, all are found in his work.
